Did he fly on a Boeing plane?
100% they killed him
He was staying at a hotel out-of-state while giving evidence against Boeing.
He was found dead in his car in the hotel parking lot from a 'self-inflicted wound'.
There's really no other way to look at it logically than he was murdered by Boeing. Nothing else adds up.
An investor could’ve threatened his family? (So not directly Boeing)
If he got a bunch of hate online, or had crippling anxiety about the testimony he still had to give? I mean you could even speculate he thought he would be killed someday, so he took it into his own hands.
(Please note the above is all BS!)
I would argue the jury is still out and that we may never know.
Direct involvement might be a question still. But general involvement is absolute. If Boeing wasn't so shitty he almost assuredly would still be alive.
I suppose even if nobody ever said a word to him you could make that argument. No poor business practices = no testimony = no car in a hotel parking lot.

He wasn't even done giving the deposition that he literally volunteered to give...

Shades of Karen Silkwood right here. :(
Michael Hastings as well
Why don't news organizations address the elephant in the room? They can say there is no evidence of foul play but the circumstances warrant further investigation as his death is quite convenient for Bowing. I don't see how that could be libelous.
Because news organizations no longer do any work investigating, only propagandizing for the sweet greenback$. 💰

In case you think we're any better than the Russians.
This is the norm in Russia, it's not in the US. Both sides are not the same. I can't seem to remember the last time any president had someone they didn't like pushed out of a window or had their tea poisoned on the regular. If Trump gets elected obviously that will change but to say that we aren't any better is wild.
Especially after killing political rivals like Navalny (and all the failed attempts). When is the last time we saw that in the US?

No, it is not a corporation protecting its bottom line that makes us no better, but the inevitable lack of response from the US "justice" system. Just like with Epstein.

“Local officials confirmed Mr. Barnett’s suicide. When asked how Mr. Barnett managed to fire the sniper shot through his bedroom window, the officer first on the scene only replied, “Trust me bro.”, while stuffing a large stack of 100 dollars bills back down the front of his pants.”
(Interwebz pedant voice) actually there are several scenarios possible where one could conceivably kill themselves with a sniper rifle 100 yards away . . . People who don’t know about this are just so credulous, but weapons science has known for a long time that JFK actually killed himself . . .
[2 week later] Former lead detective found dead in in what investigators have ruled a suicide. He apparently hung himself after a fit of rage where his house appeared to have kicked in his own front door, tore the hard drive out of his security camera hub, punched himself in the face a number of times, then tied the rope to a bannister and strung himself up.
Is this a Russian style self inflicted wound…?
No window was involved, so- probably not.
My brother in Freedom Jesus, faking a murder to look like suicide is as American as apple pie!
Hell the most notorious pedophile in history, who definitely had video of the world’s richest men committing statutory rape and assault, killed himself in one of the most secure locations anyone could imagine, surrounded by guards and video cameras! And nobody saw a thing! HA! And we’re all like “well i guess that sordid chapter is over” hahahaha. Oh man. It literally works every. single. time.
No, it's probably more of a mob style self-inflicted wound. Didn't say he shot himself in the head twice and jumped out a window.
The Russians will throw someone out the window or poison them in a very obvious way, the Americans will put two in their head and have it ruled a suicide.
I love the one where the guy “killed himself” by duck taping himself to a lawn chair and then throwing himself in the pool.

Guess the executives didn't want to wait for him to take one of their planes and die naturally by getting sucked out at 35,000 feet when a door falls off.
Well, that's not typical, if like to point that out.
I absolutely love that bit!
